Verifying the Ethernet Address
During installation, you may receive the following prompt to verify the machine's 12-digit hexadecimal Ethernet address:
The following IEEE 802 address has already been entered for this machine: 0000c0eac744 Is this correct? (y)
You will receive this prompt under any of the following conditions:
· If you are installing DCE for the first time
· If you have used the dce_config REMOVE option to stop DCE daemons and remove any data files associated with those daemons.
To answer the prompt, you have two choices:
· If the displayed address is correct, press <Return>.
· If the displayed address is incorrect,
1. Type n and press <Return>. The dce_config script prompts for the correct address.
Enter your machine's IEEE 802 address as a 12 digit hex number (for example, 08002B0F59BB):
2. Type the correct address and press <Return>.
The dce_config script continues the installation.
Note: If dce_config cannot obtain the machine's Ethernet address, it prompts for the address without displaying an address to verify.
